<<< Re-Boot >>> I am trying to Dr. Garbanzoure out what to print on the beach balls. My thoughts are ball in one color, and then this years logo with the boom-box-squatch. Maybe 100 24" balls each of 5 different color patterns. Red - Back / Yellow - Black / Tan - Black / White - Black / Light Green - Black. 500 total. But then there is the risk that as they go out, people will just deflate them and pocket them as free souvenirs. Thoughts? Real talk - 500 24" balls flying around won't be cool, it will be annoying. Think about when you're at a concert - a little inflatable ball drops near you, you maybe pick it up and throw it, and it falls again, and eventually just stays on the ground. But when there's a fucking raft with a dude in it, or a giant shark, or a huge beachball? or a beachball filled with confetti? Then you pay attention, and everyone is trying to get a hand on it, and that's fun. Don't waste your money on little beachballs. It's not quantity of inflatables, it's quality.

I plan on bringing one or two big weird inflatable something or others, and that's it.
Glowsticks - quantity. Inflatables - quality.

Matt and Kim throw out uninflated balloons at their show and tell everyone to blow them up. They bounce around for about 5 minutes and it's all good fun then eventually they all pop. It's easy enough for the people on stage to co-ordinate something like that, but just being a dude in the crowd I think you would have a pretty tough time getting all of the beach balls inflated at once.
I really don't think beach balls will last much longer than balloons so that might be a cheaper and easier option.

But the trash level would be crazy with balloon crap everywhere. Of course I now have a vision of everyone in the upper bowl blowing up balloons and dropping them down the the main stage pit so deep that no one down there can see the show....

There are so many reasons to hate Chvrches, but I seriously love the shit out of them, and their singer is the cutest little thing on the face of the earth.

What are the reasons to hate them?

I was more so speaking for the general mindset of this board, which is anti-anything current music trends. They're definitely a run of the mill electro-pop group that will eventually blow up and everyone here will hate, which is fine. That's how it works I guess. I shouldn't have said "so many reasons to hate," in retrospect, but I do recognize that they aren't very original.

I'd guess they did that so they are easier to google since 'churches' will bring up a million other results.

But you know what, an awesome performance can bring this board around on almost anyone (see Weekend, Vampire; Robyn; Chromeo) - so I think they have a shot.

All of which I love dearly. Some music is just created to get down to, and I get down.
